About unstructured grids: I think you can't do that with PetSC because PetSC has no idea of sparsity. A friend of mine did parallel volume visualization on irregular grids but that requires a communication volume model which is a hypergraph and a hypergraph partitioner to reach the desired effect; anything else would be wasting the hardware. Making that real-time for a timestepping simulation would be a great challenge. But if you have dense structures, then the code you describe will work (which I think you already show) Regards, -- Eray (exa) Ozkural Comp. Sci.
